Grab the family and enjoy community events all month long.

On Independence Day, you can head to Tulsa River Parks for the beloved Folds of Honor Freedomfest for great fireworks, music, food and fun. Then, head to Expo Square for the Tulsa Rock & Gem Show on July 10-12, or the Route 66 Festival, July 18 at the Gathering Place. For a multicultural experience, try the Tulsa Powwow, running July 25-26 at Arvest Convention Center. 

If you’re looking to get active, Riversport OKC offers a bevy of group kayaking events on July 11, 18 and 25. Or, find unique wares at Buchanan’s Flea Market, running July 11-12 at 608 Kiamichi Pl. Those hankering for some ink or a new piercing should venture to the OKC Fair Park on July 17-19 for the Thundertats Expo, or stick around the venue for the Lost Dymension Fantasy Fest and Costumeacon on July 25.

Oklahoma’s got too many Fourth of July events to name them all, but a few include Grand Lake Fireworks, July 3 at Highway 28 in Disney; Freedom Fest, July 3-4 at Yukon City Park & Chisholm Trail Park; and the Bethany Boom on July 4 in downtown Bethany. Other highlights include the exciting Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, July 8-11 at 1001 E. John Fullbright Loop in Okemah; the Stillwater Oklahoma Train Show, July 10-11 at the Payne County Expo Center; the Porter Peach Festival, July 16-18 in downtown Porter; and the Route 66 Heritage Festival, July 24-25 at 111 N. Main St. in Miami.
